(20 Mar 2016, 8:58 pm)Adrian I don't agree with that one mind. Mainline trains should stick to being of an express nature. Stations like Heworth should be served by regional rail, and of course we have the Metro every couple of minutes too.

(21 Mar 2016, 11:12 pm)northern156 It would appeal to those who live in the area who get a direct service to London rather than changing at Newcastle or Sunderland, though. I'd imagine the sort of commuter/business type person with baggage, laptops, suitcases etc would like to not have to move their belongings more than once.It opens up a can of worms I think. If you do it at Heworth for the sake of a handful of passengers a week, then you'd have to do similar elsewhere.

VTEC reported to be missing targets, but is taking on the airlines the way forward?

East Midlands Trains: 43064 & 43060 by Matthew Jimmison, on FlickrSomething that confused me tonight was this turning up for my VTEC journey between York and Darlington this evening.

Anyone have any info as to why this happened?
As above. One set is supposedly always in for refurbishment and to keep the service at the same level they have leased a couple of powercars from EMT.
Set EC64 (which I believe is just coming out of refurb in the next few days) was originally a full EMT set but with the guard vehicle (TGS) that was formed of low back EMT style seating on one side and high backed seating (FGW) on the other. Even had the moquettes of both companies on!

I had a BEAM-enabled Mark IV set the other week. I was quite impressed with the offerings.

Following the selection of United's Championship visit to Fulham for live TV transmission on Friday August 5th, Virgin Trains East Coast have added a later service allowing fans to get home after full time.
The train will depart from London Kings Cross at 23.17 and call at York (01.31), Darlington (02.09), Durham (02.27) and terminating at Newcastle (02.57).
Tickets are currently £29 single to Newcastle.
Responding to queries as to whether this may be repeated after the QPR away game on a Tuesday night in September, Emma Vincent (General Manager for Virgin Trains on its east coast route), said:
"We're delighted to have been able to arrange, at short notice, an additional later train from London King's Cross at 23:17 which will allow those wanting to travel to the game by train to get back home after the match.
"It's very much a one-off at this stage but if it proves popular, subject to the practicalities, we would certainly consider looking at similar options for games later on in the season."

Does anyone know if the 91s ever operate under their own power over the High Level Bridge? I know it's electrified but I've never seen it happen.
Cheers.

It has happened before, Though there isn't one booked to run over it daily.
So is indeed pretty rare.
